Bad fences – well, who knows?

People are flocking there already.
Speaking of Santa – He might need to have his Check Engine light checked.

Roof repair
Moss doesn’t make good mortar.
Not at all, as evidenced here
Ferns seem to like it, though.
This mini-loader was sitting in the field at Locust Street and Bank Avenue on Sunday afternoon.
Is it a sign of impending progress on the planned apartment building?
Until then, Merry Christmas Everyone!
It’ll be here soon!

REP. DAVE HICKERNELL BACKS GOP RESOLUTION DISPUTING ELECTION RESULTS – DESPITE LACK OF EVIDENCE

 

PA State Rep. Dave Hickernell


The resolution provides no evidence of election fraud. Instead, it raises doubts about the integrity of the results, citing a series of rulings by the “partisan majority” on the state Supreme Court, unverified claims about “irregularities” in the mail-ballot and vote-counting processes, as well as the unresolved status of unspecified legal action.

About a third of the 110-member Republican majority in the House co-sponsored the resolution, including five of the seven GOP members of Lancaster County’s delegation — Reps. Mindy Fee, of Manheim; Keith Greiner, of Upper Leacock; David Hickernell, of West Donegal; Brett Miller, of East Hempfield; and David Zimmerman, of East Earl.

None of the legislators responded to requests for comment from LNP | LancasterOnline, and only Greiner had issued a public statement about why he signed the resolution.
